Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S 4G...Please help..

Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile.
First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone.
So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087.
As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way.
So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock.
After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore.
Now I don't know what to do. I realized I was flashing with the Galaxy Vibrant kernels with Odin and now, it won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. It is also not being detected my computer when I plug it in. I'ts a blank screen.
Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.

Unfortunately, you won't get much sympathy for that. Here's some info for you though.

Normally wouldn't have posted anything, but seeing that no one did and started flaming him, I decided to help.
There's a good handful of people on XDA (maybe more) who are capable of doing what I mentioned to you. You'll have to look for them though. I'm sure they charge a decent fee as well.

There was a thread by raver i think that stated how to unbrick a hard brick

Hello!! I bricked my gs4g, couldn't put it in download mode with the regular bottoms combo, so what I did was:with the phone off push volume bottoms, both in the same time nothing else, then connect your phone with the computer(usb), that gave me download mode

[Q] One X stuck in boot loop, can't access fastboot. Help!

I rooted my AT&T One X with minimal trouble today, and when I went to install a ROM it installed fine, but restarted into a bootloop. I am having trouble getting into bootloader. Has anybody ever seen this happen?

At least a hundred times, there's a hundred threads as proof.

Just going to go on a limb and ask, are you familiar with fastboot? If not, then rooting is not for you. I see it in your title, but you must be doing it wrong. That is all.
I so want to say "Have you tried taking out the battery?" But that would be just wrong...

Ok, I do not mind helping. But I need to know if you know what fast boot means, and if you know how to actually get into the boot loader. If not, look in my sig, and click "Rooted" it will take you to another site, and show you a DETAILED video on what to do. It is important that you have the correct adb/fastboot files set up. A download link is also on that site as well.

Press and hold power until the bottom buttons blink a few times and the screen goes black.
When the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.

On all of the videos, I need to have fastboot load, but it won't. I hold down volume down+power and nothing will happen except I keep getting the device connected and then device disconnected sounds on my PC over and over. When I try to send commands through cmd, it just says <waiting for device> and doesn't connect.

You're not very clear on what's happening? On your phone can you get into the bootloader or not?
One step at a time.

I've read up on the topic a little more and I think I'm pretty much screwed, but I'll try to explain it better.
The device won't go into fastboot mode or I would have had it fixed a long time ago. Holding the power+down volume does nothing but make the 'device connected' and 'device disconnected' sounds go off over and over very quickly on my PC. It isn't responding to commands both when it's turned off and when it's in the boot loop.
So no. No bootloader.

Ok and the screen and buttons are black?

[Q] Dead phone - bad flash

Hey guys, a friend tryed to get SCID on his 2.14 hboot evita
Everything went smooth until he tryed flashing the edited mmcblk0p4.
apparently he used a text editor instead of a hex editor which caused the problem.
So my question is, is there a way to flash the partition from windows while its in the EDIT: shows as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"(COMM11)"? or i have to use linux
thanks ahead

@Vcek So does the phone not turn on at all? If not I'd try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966850 otherwise, you're probably out of luck.

Generally this error means you have a brick. Some people have had success with the tool I posted, but not a lot. If you don't have a warranty you can send it into mobiletechvideos.com and get them to JTAG it for a reasonable price (I think it's $50)

The phone is fried. He's corrupted the extended partition table, which means nothing will show up in linux. It's jtag or nothing.

I used to work in a place that built pcb's for a manufacturer and the chips were programmed in house then sent out for final software. So that mode may only be supported on the manufacturer end. I'm only guessing but seems feasible.

[Q] One X Hard Bricked

Ok, so I tried flashing cyanogenmod on my phone and ended up with what i believe to be a hard brick... I'll go through what I did, and I guess if there is any way to reverse this and return it to working condition, I would greatly appreciate this information. First, I used the exploit found in the all-in-one kit so that the bootloader could be unlocked officially by HTC. After getting my bootloader unlocked via the file sent to me by HTC, I flashed my cwm via fastboot. Everything seemed to be working fine at this point; the phone would boot into both the rom and the cwm. I rebooted the phone and flashed the boot image found in the cm rom I was flashing on my phone. I rebooted once again, erased the cache and dalvik, and then attempted to flash the rom. It was unsuccessful the first time due to failed asserts. I had previously been able to simply edit the build.prop file and remove the asserts on other android devices to correct this problem, so I attempted to do this. I tried again to flash the rom, which began installing, and then resulted in the phone turning off. I am sure that this has everything to do with my editing of the file, but I am just wondering why it did not work this time, and if there is a way to correct this without expensive hardware. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

It's not responsive to anything now... I realize the device probably won't make a recovery at this point due to my lack of knowledge and resources, but I guess I'm more wondering why exactly this happened, for future reference. I mean, if there is a way to fix it that would be awesome, but yeah, the screen and buttons wont turn on, and when its plugged in the charge LED does not come on either. My computer can still recognize the phone though in the device manager, but it is called Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008, and there is not an obvious way (to me) to access the files on the internal SD.

When you plug it in does it show charge light? And what is the file name you flashed? You should only download roms from here if it was a quad core Rom it overwrote the partitions and totally bricked it. Also plug it into a Windows pc and tell me what it's trying to install drivers for if it tries to install qhsusb drivers your dead in the water and need jtag or send it to HTC for about 200$ to have mainboard replaced.

As I said, the charge light does not show up, the file name was cm-10.1.2-endeavoru, and I don't remember seeing any drivers installed after that, but on my windows 8 pc (dont judge, its brand new), it shows up in device manager as qualcomm hs-usb qloader... Sounds pretty dismal, but thanks a lot for the input. Still wondering why this happened though.

Yup, I did. I had done that in the past and it worked for my other android device, but I guess it wouldn't make sense for them to exist if there wasn't a reason. Thanks alot guys, I'm just starting out with this stuff and it's really good to see the amount of people who are willing to help newbies like me.

Bricked Phone (QHSUSB_DLOAD)

My phone got bricked after I flashed the PurePerformanceX Golden Edition. It shows up as Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode). I have tried this but I have some problems with it. Would anyone mind lending in a hand? I haven't tried TeamViewer but I can setup an account if it would help more.

Yeah, you can try plugging it in or holding down the power button but likely you'll have to jtag. And you flashed something not meant for this phone.

Yeah, that was the first thing I did. Surprisingly, it's been a week and I don't seem to miss it that much also I would send it to get it jtag or at least buy my own riff box but I'm not able to buy stuff online (no credit card/job).

i would suggest the unbricking method mentioned in the forums or JET tool(sorry if this is what you are discussing). However if you fail to find the partitions on linux then you have no option but jtag(i would not suggest buying riff box, its difficult to connect, expensive, and jtag-ing is only $20-$50)
